After the waterfall, the stream flowed for a few thousand meters down the gentle slope, until it reached a grassy area that could not be seen at first glance. This grassland was a valley between two large mountains. It was about thirty meters wide, was filled with wild grass, and grew crazily. It was as tall as half a person and was completely green.

The stream slowly flowed through the grass, clear as day. In the stream, fish swam back and forth, playing around and taking their time.

However, the bottom of the lake was covered with soft silt.

Standing on the side of the grass, Xie Weiwu, Deng Zhou, Yang Zongfu, Lin Zhongke and the others stopped, looking at the flat grass land in front of them, their faces were gloomy.

Xiao Ding did not understand, and whispered to Liu Feixu: ”Why aren't you leaving?”

”Captain Xie is worried that this grass is a swamp, if we walk into it, we will sink in.” Liu Feixu explained softly.

Along the way, Liu Feixu patiently taught Xiao Ding the ways to survive in the wild: to recognize wild vegetables, to recognize wild fruits, and to explain things to pay attention to when camping in the mountains … As long as it was something he knew, she would teach them to Xiao Ding.

Liu Feixu knew that Xiao Ding had never participated in survival training in the wild and there were many things that he did not understand. However, since he had joined the Thunderbolt Team, then there would be a lot of time spent on missions in the wilderness, and even in the primeval forest like this, so he had to master this skill.

Fortunately, after Xiao Ding had cultivated, he had been reborn anew and his acceptance ability had improved a lot. No matter what, as long as Liu Feixu told him, he would understand.

Just then, Xie Weiwu took out his dagger and cut a branch off, then went to the edge of the grass to try, he easily stabbed it in, all the way until the branch didn't have a top, and still hadn't touched the hard ground.

”So deep!” Lin Zhongke sighed.

”Let's walk on the side of the mountain.” Xie Weiwu turned to look at them.

The few of them nodded.

He then climbed up another section of the hill and headed out along the foot of the mountain.

After walking a while, Xie Weiwu who was ahead of them suddenly stepped on air and stepped into a trap. In an instant, a pile of pitch black things appeared beside him.

Very quickly, these things covered Xie Weiwu's entire body. In the blink of an eye, it had already invaded the people behind them. However, when Xiao Ding saw the bunch of things, he guessed that they were definitely ants. He immediately activated his Innate Qi to protect his entire body, preventing them from invading his upper body.

Not long after, they felt an unbearable pain all over their body.

At the same time that Jezebel endured the itchiness and pain, he suddenly ordered loudly, ”Go back, go back to the waterfall!”

The five of them rushed to the bottom of the waterfall. Liu Feixu threw her backpack and rushed into the water, immediately causing a layer of black ants to surface on the surface of the water.

Liu Feixu took off his jacket again and threw it on the shore.

As for Xie Weiwu, Lin Zhongke, Yang Zongfu and Deng Zhou, the four of them waited for the layer of black ants to pass by before entering the stream below her.

Xiao Ding took their backpacks and walked over to the stream. He activated his Innate Qi and shook the black ants out of the water. After cleaning up, he took out the tent from Liu Feixu's backpack and tied it up, then said to Liu Feixu: ”Liu Feixu, come up and change your clothes.”

It was winter, and the water was especially cold in the mountain forest. It was also because the black ants had bitten him many times outside, causing him to be unable to endure the pain. Otherwise, Liu Feixu would have come in the morning.

Hearing Xiao Ding's shout, he knew that he had arranged everything properly for his, so he went ashore, picked up his backpack, and went to the tent, taking off his drenched clothes, and discovered that his body was covered with dense red marks.

Liu Feixu took out some ointment from her backpack, and a unique fragrance immediately wafted out from the tent. Liu Feixu carefully squeezed out the ointment and smeared all the red marks on her body. Only then did she feel better.

Xiao Ding shouted towards the tent: ”Liu Feixu, you hide inside the tent for a while, wait for them to finish applying the medicine outside, and then change your clothes before coming out. I'll go find some dry branches and light a fire to get you some ginger soup to drink. ”

Although it was early winter, the water was still very cold. If he did not take any measures, he would catch a cold after soaking in the water for a long time.

After Xie Weiwu and the others finished applying the medicine and changing their clothes, they told Liu Feixu. Only then did Liu Feixu walk out of the tent, and said to the rest: ”All of you go and pick up Xiao Ding's branches, I'll help you wash your clothes, and then we'll roast them dry.”

The four of them promised to leave, picked up a lot of dry branches, and started a big fire. They took out a military pot, grabbed some ginger, broke it into pieces, and put some chillies in it to cook a big pot of ginger soup.

Xie Weiwu and the rest of the five all drank two big bowls, cut down a few branches and put them on a rack, and hung their wet clothes beside the fire to dry.

He could only wait for his clothes to dry before leaving. He had to camp here again for the day.

Xiao Ding said: ”Anyway, everything is fine now. You guys continue roasting the clothes here, I will go and scout, and I think we won't be able to walk on the other side of the road. I'm afraid we might encounter black ants like them again, I'll go look from the other side.”
